How to register open generic type by interface with Castle Windsor?

Question

I'm trying to make this registration work. I have a number of IEventFactory<> responsible for creating different (external) events within my application.

I'd like to resolve all kinds of factories just by it's interface, eg IEventFactory<ClassA>. How do I make my test below succeed?

[TestFixture]
public class WindsorTests
{ 

    [Test]
    public void Test_factory_registration()
    {           

        WindsorContainer container = new WindsorContainer();
        container.AddFacility<TypedFactoryFacility>();

        container.Register(AllTypes.FromThisAssembly().BasedOn(typeof(IEventFactory<>)).WithService.AllInterfaces());

        IEventFactory<ClassA> factoryA = container.Resolve<IEventFactory<ClassA>>();
        IEventFactory<ClassB> factoryB = container.Resolve<IEventFactory<ClassB>>();

    }


    class ClassA
    {

    }

    class ClassB
    {

    }


    interface IEventFactory<TCaller>
    {
        void Foo();
    }


    class EventFactoryA : IEventFactory<ClassA>
    {

        public void Foo()
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }

    class EventFactoryB : IEventFactory<ClassB>
    {

        public void Foo()
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }

}

Your interfaces and factories are private. Either make them public/internal or add IncludeNonPublicTypes() in the registration line.

Thank you! So simple. I just had them private in my test case :)

To add to what @Patrick Steele said, you probably also should be using .WithService.Base()

Have a look at the documentation which details the differences.
